Lightning to Ethernet adapter. Prevent children exposure to EMR

Hi,
Is there a Lightning to Ethernet adapter available?
If so, great, where do I get one?
The reason I'm after this is that there is a lack of information on the long term effects of EMR (Electromagnetic Radiation) which is produced when data is transferred over WiFi.
Children are thought to be more vulnerable to wireless radiation because their bodies and brains are still growing and developing and they absorb more radiation than adults. As a result, many authorities have advised reducing children’s exposure to WiFi radiation.
Some European nations have banned WiFi in schools until it can be proven as 100% safe for the long term.
A Lightning to Ethernet adapter would allow our children to safely use iPads without the risk of exposure to EMR by connecting to the network with an ethernet cable.

I'm close to half your age and was also out all day when I was a child/teen. But unfortunately life is not as simple these days. Society has evolved and we're a lot more informed.
In my opinion your skinned knee analogy kind of misses the point. That's something we've all been through and the result is a known and temporary inconvenience. But I am glad to hear you survived your recent experience...
Young children are not 77. They have a lot more developing to do and a lot longer to live. Over their lifespan they will be exposed to more of these technologies than you or I in our lifespan.
Now, I use WiFi all the time and I seem fine so it must be safe for everyone at all levels, right?
In the past it was totally acceptable to smoke cigarettes in a car full of children. These days... Not so acceptable. Most people have come to their senses.
You've seen a lot of change in your life and in that time there have been lots of 'safe' products/practices/technologies that turned out to not be so safe after all.
I’m no scientist but considering that the bone density of young children is lower than adults, it's probable that more EMR will penetrate their tissue as compared to adults.
The long term developmental and neurological effects cannot yet be known so no one can state that there is no effect. More than likely they’ll be fine, but as a parent I need to consider the possibility and try to make smart decisions. It seems logical that excessive exposure could be a bad thing.
With four iPads in my house I'm not aiming to ban WiFi, however usage is limited. iPad technology is a game changer full of potential but is there any harm in trying to minimise a child's exposure while they use their iPad?

Using USB 2.0 Network Ethernet Adapter for sharing printer with 3 computers

Hi all,
Opposed to using a print server, can I use a USB 2.0 Network Ethernet Adapter to connect my Epson printer over my ethernet DSL router?
Thanks
Web dude

Yea, I thought about an adapter for the USB 2.0 port, but for a few bucks more, get the USB 3.0 adapter and be able to connect to Ethernet at Gigabit speeds!
Since Lenovo has not commented on the absence of an Ethernet port, I'm guessing that the slim height of the Yoga prevents it, unless you go to some funky slide-out module and connect at a 90 degree angle (which would be a worse design). I had an old Thinkpad (or Dell?) with that design, and they are intermittent and subject to being broken off.
Bundling in the Ethernet Adapter would have been a nice touch. Perhaps they were trying not to increase the Yoga's "above market" price further.

USB Ethernet Adapter Stopped Working On Mac Mini Server Running 10.6.6

Is anybody out there successfully using the Apple USB Ethernet adapter on a Mac Mini Server running 10.6.6? They have stopped working for me.
The boot disk in the 2009 Mac Mini Server in my classroom failed and after Apple replaced the disk and I reinstalled SLS and ran Software Update to bring the machine up to 10.6.6 the USB Ethernet adapter that was the interface to the outside world no longer recognized when a cable was plugged in. The cable was good and worked just fine if plugged into another machine or the built-in interface. At first I thought that the USB Interface had failed but after trying two new ones (graciously exchanged by Apple) and finding that none of them worked I'm coming to the conclusion that perhaps the warning on the package that the USB Ethernet only works with the MacBook Air finally became true.

Only the specific build of Mac OS X that comes with a MacBook Air includes the kernel extension to run the Apple USB Ethernet adapter, however there are no hardware issues preventing it being used on other Mac models if you have a suitable driver.
Generic USB drivers can be downloaded for free from http://www.sustworks.com/site/newsusbethernet.html and this worked for me.

Does the ethernet adapter have a MAC address?

Hi, I wonder if anyone can answer this one for me. I use programs under bootcamp that need a 'dongle' to prevent them being used on more than one machine at once. ProE for example uses a Pluscom ethernet adaptor that carries its own unique MAC address that the license is assigned to. My question is, is the Mac ethernet adapter the same? does it have a unique address - should be six pairs of numbers / letters.
Just wondering if I could use one of the Mac adapters for this purpose.
Thanks for any help

Yes, the Apple Ethernet adapter will have a Media Access Control (MAC) address. In general, every network adapter (NIC) will have a unique MAC address. So if your program only works with a specifc MAC address, basically you can't install the program on a different computer without contacting the software vendor for a new installation code or whatever. (More specifically, you can't change the NIC. If you change computers, you need to keep the NIC.)
In Windows, to get the MAC address, open a command prompt and type "IPCONFIG /ALL" (without the quotes.) The line that says "Physical Address" is the MAC address. Note that you may have more than one NIC. (Wired, Wi-Fi, etc.) So you need to be sure you get the appropriate MAC address for the desired NIC.

I need a USB/FireWire ethernet adapter

About 6 months ago my ethernet port was fried when a lightning bolt sent a surge through the wire. Since then i have been using my family's wireless network, but now that I am back in school and away from home, i don't have that luxury. So, i've been looking for a Mac compatible USB/FireWire ethernet adapter and have had no luck. If anyone knows where I can find one, let me know.

Hi Kllru,
Welcome to the Discussions.
The following link has info on compatible adapters as well as a driver for OS X.

Probook 650 g2 - Lost Ethernet adapter after updates

I ran Windows Update and also ran the Support Assistant recommended updates, which included a BIOS update. After restarting, all I have are Bluetooth and wireless network adapters, my Realtek Ethernet adapter is nowhere to be found in Windows. It is turned on in BIOS. I reinstalled the sp65789 driver, but this had no effect.
When I plug an ethernet cable into the adapter, I get no lights.

Hello @mbp2112 ,
To get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial product. You can do this at Commercial Forums.
Even though this is a Commercial product, here is a link to the HP Support Assistant if you need it. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system at the time of purchase or that need updating including the Ethernet drivers for your system and Windows 7.
You could also use the HP Drivers and download pages.
Thanks.

How can I transfer photos from an IPhone 5 to an IPad 2 using a cable. I have tried using the lightning to firewire adapter with my current lead but this only seems to allow a download from the Ipad to the Iphone and not the other way around.

The devices are not designed for transfer of that kind. Use Photo Stream as suggested by another poster, or transfer photos to your computer (a good idea anyway since they will be lost if your device needs to be reset), then use iTunes to sync them to the other devices.

Usb to Ethernet adapter doesn't work? AX88772B

I don't know how to make a connection with Internet with RJ-45 cable with the usb adapter.
I have MBA. Lion 10.7.5
Now I need to connect MBA by RJ-45 cable with usb adapter (asus AX88772B)
MBA see the adapter (even without an ethernet cable).
I also did download drivers from here http://www.asix.com.tw/products.php?op=pItemdetail&PItemID=105;71;101&PLine=71
I read the instruction, and I've done 3 steps on the page 4 exept these one's:
(4) Set the permission access mode of Apple’s default driver.
(5) Update the access and modification times of ASIX’s AX88772B/772A/760/772 or AX88178 driver.
But i don't know how to do this.
In the system report is always written this:
AX88772B:

Vendor ID:          0x0b95 (ASIX Electronics Corporation)

But still I can't make an Usb to Ethernet connection in system preferenes, nothing written about it there.

Lightning to VGA adapter doesn't work with Ipad Air

I have a Lightning to VGA adapter that I want to use with my Ipad Air and pc screen. When I connect it with my Ipad and the screen, on my ipad the blue bar appears but I don't get anything on my pc screen. I dit the same with my iphone 6 and that works perfect. Any idea what the problem could be?
Both devices has IOS 8.3.
Thanks in advance.

I have a similar problem to blueskoi. I have a lightning to HDMI Connector which no longer works on my iPad Air, however it still works fine on my wife's iPad 4.
The only difference I can find is that her iPad hasn't been updated to IOS 8.3, whereas my iPad Air has.
Is anybody else experiencing the same problem, or am I missing something?
I have done a full settings reset on my Air but that didn't resolve it. I get the blue bar at the top of the screen and my TV Screen flashes, but then no signal appears,
Any help would be most gratefully received.
Regards
Paul

Thunderbolt to Ethernet Adapter doesn't work with Retina MacBook Pro

I can't seem to connect to Ethernet with my Retina MacBook Pro. I bought an adapter and when I plugged it in, the network setup assistant showed that I was connected to the internet but my web browsers (Safari, Firefox and Chrome) couldn't connect, nor could any other programs (like Mail). The error message said that my computer was not connected to the internet, which did not match what Network Diagnositcs said. After a phone call with Apple Support, I had a replacement adapter mailed to me. With the new adapter, my computer now says that it is connected to the internet and I even have an IP address, but programs still can't connect and I get an error message saying the DNS lookup failed. This happens even when I manually enter the DNS server. I have already tried running the Thunderbolt software update 1.2.1 as well as the recent Thunderbolt firmware update, but the installer says they are not compatible with my computer. The problem occurs for both Thunderbolt ports. Is anyone else having this issue? I have no problem connecting to WiFi, so my temporary work around is using internet sharing on my old MacBook, which can connect to the ethernet connection in my apartment with no problems.

Lightning to VGA Adapter not working with certain apps

I've recently noticed that I can't watch movies on Netlix any more with my Lightning to VGA Adapter going to an LCD monitor. It works just fine with other apps just not Netflix. Apple says it is a Netflix app problem, and Netlix doesn't want to admit it's anything wrong with their app. Any one else have this problem? Is there a solution?

Lightning to vga adapter not working after ios 7 update

After I installed ios 7 on my iphone and ipad, lightning to vga adapter A1439 stopped working on both machines. I thought that the first update would solve this problem. However, I recently installed 7.0.3 update but both machines still can not see the adapter. I tried adapter on different ios 6 machines and it works just fine.
Will there be an update for this issue? Did you have the same problem?

IPad 4 lightning to vga adapter, works but gets stuck in video out mode. I can't get it to switch back to mirroring without restarting it

I have an iPad 4 with an Apple lightning to vga adapter. (A1439)
It connects fine to my HDTV and projector for doing presentations and video etc.
But if I do show any video on it, e.g. full screen a video from within Chrome, Safari, the apps for Youtube etc.
or if I do a presentation using Keynote, it locks into working as an extended second screen.
It shows the controls for the video on the iPad and the video on the external screen, which is what I would expect. But then if I exit the video or complete the presentation, the external screen continues to show the last frame of the video or presentation. Even if I close the app.
I can't get back to using it in mirroring mode without shutting it down and restarting.
Surely I am just missing something.
I've tried force closing the apps that I use, switching between them, starting up new ones etc.
But no luck.
There doesn't seem to be a setting anywhere that I can change.
Any suggestions?

The same thing happened to me. After the big update, I also experienced exactly what you described. I ended up restoring the ipad a number of times.
The first few times, I restored from a back-up. The last few times I have restored the ipad as new. It would work the next few times I turned the machine on, and around the third time, it would lapse back into the recovery mode, with
the image of the serial cord connecting to an i-tunes logo on its desktop. This morning, I restored the ipad as new, but only allowed the apps manufactured by Apple to be synced back onto the ipad. I have powered it back on about three times, and so far, so good. I am waiting to see what happens the next few times I turn the machine on.
I had a very helpful senior Apple express advisor help me on Sunday to do the restore as a new ipad procedure. He said that if that did not work, the next step was having it serviced. He also mentioned that often the third party apps have problems due to getting corrupt and this often happens after a major update. That is why I thought i'd try and see what would happen if I only synced the Apple apps back onto the ipad.
It is not good though if I can't put third party applications on it without having the problem of lapsing into recovery mode, so I may have to get it serviced. I am wondering how many others have had this problem after the big update last week? Also, has anyone who was an early purchaser and got the flat-rate unlimited data plan subscription from AT&T, had to have their ipad replaced? Was there a problem with AT& T still allowing you to continue your special subscription plan?

Thunderbolt Gigabit Ethernet Adapter doesn't work

Just plugged in a Thunderbolt Gigabit Ethernet Adapter into MacBook Pro 15" 2.7GHz i7, OS 10.7.4
It is recognized correctly by System Profiler, but not in System Preferences - the Adapter just isn't shown in Network.
What is still needed?
Thanks for Answers!

Got this update:
All Thunderbolt-equipped Mac computers support this adapter. This adapter requires OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later. Thunderbolt-equipped Macs released prior to June, 2012, require the installation of Thunderbolt Software Update 1.2.1 to use this adapter.

What's the maximum LAN speed with the Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter on my MacBook Pro?

While I was at Yodobashi Camera yesterday, I got a Thunderbolt to Gigabit ethernet adapter for my MacBook Pro. I figure, since I'm paying for the high speed fiber optic (Sony Nuro), why limit my self to wi-fi speeds at home?
Before connecting the adapter, via wi-fi it the speed was 143.8 Mbps down and 181.5 Mbps up.
After connecting the adapter and making a direct LAN connection to the router, the speed is 783.2 Mbps down and 940.1 Mbps up.
I'm certainly happy with the speed, but since Sony Nuro is supposed to be 2 Gbps down and 1 Gbps up I was wondering what the maximum possible is with this computer and adapter. Before asking the provider I was curious what the maximum specs where.
The ether cable is a 3 m category 6.
Thanks,
doug

It's not really your computer that is getting the 2Gbps download - it is the router/ modem.
If you hooked better/ different hardware up you could probably push those speeds around your network too. The trouble is that most residential hardware is gigabit ethernet not fibre. Fibre cards & cable are expensive in comparison.
The existing hardware may allow you to 'bond or aggregate' multiple ethernet connections into one link to get more speed over ethernet. Obviously this requires more complex routers, switches & a network admin to set it up
Those speeds sound nice, this bottleneck will mean that other devices on you network can't choke up the whole connection & make other users sad.
